An air show team like the Canadian Forces Snowbirds has a lot in common with a major rock band when you think about it. Possibly the most common similarity is that neither concerts or air show perforomances would ever happen without an exceptional amount of behind the scenes work done by people who rarely share the limelight of the performances they make happen. Bands have an army of "roadies" that do all the work necessary to make sure their shows go on and the Snowbirds similarly have their own

Strabismus is a condition of misalignment of the eyes, it occurs in 2-5% of the population yet in more that 80% of the patients with Apert syndrome. Strabismus can be horizontal, vertical or torsional. There are different types of strabismus, a combination is also possible (figure1). The V-pattern is an exotropia on upgaze, diminishing in downgaze. This strabismus pattern is associated with an overactive m. obliques inferior, with a possible underaction of the m. obliques superior. This can lead

architecture. The lines of the building are also incredible. They curve, and defy all classical building designs. It is hard to tell when one side ends and another begins, as they weave and curve inside and outside of each other. This building draws the eye of visitors, and creates a beautiful focal point on the lakeshore in the city of Milwaukee. It is a massive piece of art on the skyline of a

Aiden booted the door and watched as it crumpled like paper. His foot had caught a splinter, but his brain eluded the pain entirely; it could only register the reeking musk of cocktailed bourbon and baked cigars. “Junkies…,” he murmured, eyes trailing forward. The hall ahead was poorly lit. A pitiful chandelier was suspended from the ceiling and was flickering desperately, only barely exposing the writing on decrepit walls beside it. He studied it closely. Graffiti had been interesting

(GVE) fibers. The GSE fibers are responsible for innervating most of the muscles in the orbit that move the eye. These muscles are the levator palpebrae superioris, the superior rectus, the medial rectus, the inferior rectus, and the inferior oblique muscles. The GVE fibers are a part of the parasympathetic nervous system. These fibers innervate muscles in the ciliary body to focus the eye on nearby objects and the sphincter pupillae, which constricts the pupil (Drake, Mitchell, & Vogl, 2012). The

and face was evenly distributed, with no lesions, infestations or dandruff. The hair on the back of the head was discolored from the iodine used during surgery to clean the patient’s neck. The patient’s hair was soft, short and silver in color. The eyes, nose, mouth and ears of the patient were symmetrical and at even levels bilaterally. The skin of the patient’s face was soft, non-tender, warm to the touch, dry, and free from lesions. No abnormal findings were found when palpating the patient’s skull

3D Printed Glass for the Correction of Eye Defects Shyam Vignesh Perumal1 Affiliations: 1 Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering, University of South Florida Abstract: We propose to use 3D printing for fabrication of glasses providing image correction for myopia. Since myopia commonly known short-sightedness is a condition characterized by the light focusing in from of retina instead of on its surface, concave lenses are typically used for correction. Unfortunately price of the glasses

My lenses in the beginning were very cloudy, not at all, like the white cat caught in my peripheral, as I headed out the door for work. A white cat, that means good luck, clean, and a loyal pet, right? On the other hand, if the cat had been black, well that’s a whole other story. A black cat brings bad luck, if it crosses your path, always dirty, and devious. Growing up a cat was described in these two ways. Well it didn’t matter, I never had a cat, didn’t much care to get to know one, plus I glanced

My own marigolds like the one in the story “Marigolds” by Eugenia Collier was a simple yet elegant plastic painting in the shape of a penguin. I got it as a return gift from a birthday party I attended when I was about 10-12 years old. After painting it the best as I could I had to let it dry so I had the best idea ever which was to put it over an air vent so that the drying process would be sped up. I put my painting near the air vent that leads to the porch. Then came time for the monthly potluck
